    I suspect you will want to pin this delicious and easy chicken vegetable chowder for one day this winter. Soup and chowder recipes are perfect for the chilly months ahead. These days, when the temperature dips below 0 Celsius in Ontario, my family loves crockpot meals and soups to stay warm. Plus, soups and crockpot meals are often so simple to make and store. Lately, we are all about the soups. But, my daughter wanted to give chowder a try. So, last week we gathered up all of the ingredients and we got started. This chicken vegetable chowder recipe doesn’t take that many ingredients, and is pretty wholesome, so if…

    New Orleans Beignets Three Different Ways

    December 7, 2020 / No Comments

    New Orleans beignets are legendary. They are synonymous with the destination and just one of those things you need to sample when in NOLA. The city of New Orleans is known for its spirited nightlife, raucous bachelorette parties, and an abundance of internationally inspired foods. Perhaps nothing is more synonymous with NOLA though than beignets. Everyone makes them and has their own slightly unique take on the fluffy doughy sweets. New Orleans Beignets Recently, I went in search of New Orleans best beignets and what I found might surprise you. So, what’s all the fuss? And more importantly, what are beignets anyways?

    20 Hearty Chili Recipes To Make Right Now

    October 29, 2020 / No Comments

    Chili is one of my favourite things to make in our slow cooker. In the winter months, we ski often and chili is pure comfort to come home to at the end of a long ski day. Plus, it is a very simple dinner or lunch to make. You can also make chili ahead and take it with you if you need a hearty meal that is a crowdpleaser to feed a group. I can’t even count the number of times that I have seen ski families taking a massive pot of chili into a ski chalet. It just makes sense when feeding a bunch. All the Best Creative Chili…

    Cute Turkey Life Cycle Learning Activity

    September 17, 2020 / No Comments

    What do you know about the turkey life cycle? If you are at all like me, then it stands to reason that you know very little about our feathered friends. I have always taken turkey for granted as a tasty staple of the Thanksgiving season. But, there’s actually quite a lot to know about turkey. It’s an interesting bird. Since the Thanksgiving and Fall season is fast approaching I thought that perhaps we could share some turkey facts and provide a cute little turkey life cycle booklet and activity for kids. Keep this reference for later. I have other life cycle booklets that are equally educational. For instance, don’t miss…
